Improvements on video support

13 May 2012 19:31 +0000

Jesper was on a vacation and by tradition this means some news for
KPhotoAlbum as well. This time he was hacking together some improvements on
video support - and a lot of things under the hood. On visible side it
is now possible to select the frame to be used as video thumbnail and
while hovering over a thumbnail a few frames from the video are cycled
over to give better idea what the video is about. Less visible
improvements include e.g. new background tasks manager. It sure is
great to see Jesper busy on improving KPhotoAlbum once in a while.

KPhotoAlbum 4.2 released

31 Mar 2012 19:56 +0000

We are happy to announce a new release of KPhotoAlbum. The major
changes including stability and speed improvements were described when announcing the release candidate 2. After that only a few minor changes were made.

RAW workflow improvements on speed and functionality. Use embedded thumbnail if available in decent size, open the RAW file in RAW editor instead of the developed JPEG, search for only RAW files.

Rating images with number keys 0-5.

Annotation dialog and search improvements.

HTML export improvements.

Option to skip symbolic links when detecting new files.

Multi core CPU improvements.

Plenty of crashes fixed.

Usability improvements.

Working on new release of KPhotoAlbum

20 Feb 2012 16:05 +0000

We are working on a new release. New features are frozen and the
current GIT master should have all the features to be expected on the
release. Some more bug fixes should be done before the release. We are
planning on providing a release candidate soonish before the final
release, but there is no date set for that.

There has also been a major change in the forces behind KPhotoAlbum.
Jesper
has decided to step back and has left a huge gap for other people to
fill. We want to thank Jesper for his great work in producing the best
photo cataloguing software known to exist!
